Not to sound like I am complaining, but I am pretty mindblown that NONE of the DGUSA Americans are booked. I know some have voiced their opinions on it but I personally would have loved to have seen Gargano/Swann/Sami/Fox/Uhaa/Cannon (if he is booked) on a PWG show, especially considering that none of them are booked for the PWS show and I'd imagine that they will be around for the weekend anyway, so really why don't they have some kind of match? Not to mention with it being an afternoon show, I doubt too many fans would really have an issue with more wrestling on the show.

Im fine with it, they will be 3 completly diffrent shows. I have a feeling Excalibur (not to put words in your mouth if your reading this) will be doing scouting during the DG show. Dont get me wrong I love Johnny Gargano (I skiped Fear so I could go this just to see the guy live at this weekend) and if he impresses I dont see why he couldnt be brought in at some point, and the same goes with everybody on that show.

Both of these matches will most likely be fine. They're pretty random though and will probably offer next to nothing in psychology or storyline (and yes, I realize that 90% of the PWS & PWG shows are along those lines). But if there happened to be a chance that Chucky T, Gargano and Swann could stick around through Sunday, I think they could put together a nice little angle for the convention pitting The Fightin' Taylor Boys vs Ronin with Chuck caught in the middle. I mean who knows when both of these factions will be together on the same show again? Why not have some fun with it and create a little angle that crosses over all three shows?

For instance, during the DGUSA show have Ronin do a promo over intermission. While they're out there talking have Brian Cage and Ryan Taylor show up like they haven't seen Chuck in awhile and want a little family reunion. The Taylor Boys get all excited that they'll have Chuck at ringside with them on Sunday only to have Chuck say he's leaving the next day and won't be there. This creates a little friction and the Taylors lay a guilt trip on Chuck because he's more devoted to Ronin than he is to his own family. Chuck reluctantly says he will stick around for the PWG show.

The next night at the PWS show have Gargano & Swann get in to an altercation with the Taylors, ending with challenges being thrown back and forth. Chuck tries to play peace maker, but when all is said and done we've got a grudge tag match set up for Sunday afternoon.

Finally they face off at the PWG show. And even though Chuck remains neutral during the match, he winds up accidently helping Ronin get the victory. Ryan and Brian Cage completely lose it and attack Chuck, ending the partnership but establishing a fued for down the line. That's a pretty simple overview. But I think if done right, this could be an awesome subplot to play out over the three days in LA. And who knows, it might even get a little fan emotion involved instead of just a random tag match with nice spots.

Gargano explaining what happened on his twitter: http://www.twitlonger.com/show/fch6q3TL;dr He fucked up his lower back on New Years and made it worse at the Evolve show and now his career might be over. Sucks bad.

That's really shitty. A multi-fed angle that doesn't benefit DG or PWS, with the best scenario being Chuck facing Cage and Ryan Taylor in grudge matches or with a Ronin partner. If anything the Taylors need Chuck to keep people caring about the team.

They've had a full year to make the Taylor Boys' 3-man gimmick work and it hasn't happened. Chuck isn't around enough for it to gain momentum. So why not go a different direction and see what happens? As far as them not benefitting the DG or PWS shows, so what? Those shows are fine as is. Who it would mainly benefit are the people who at the convention attending all three shows and maybe give the Taylors something to build off of instead of a quick thrown together match. But the point's moot anyhow if Gargano is out of commission

I dont think that angle would work at all, in DGUSA Chuck Taylor is a serious wrestler, I dont think having the Taylor boys would help him at all, I dont know if all the DGUSA fans who dont follow PWG even know who the Taylor Boys are to be honest... What I would like to see down the line is Brian Cage denounce the Taylor name, and have him and Ryan Taylor denounce the gimmic. I would still have them team up, as they are a pretty good team, i would like to see them repackaged, mabey with a real tag team name.

Just to clarify something that doesn't seem to be catching on, the idea of the angle isn't supposed to be a DGUSA storyline whatsoever. It wouldn't be something that was on camera for the IPPV or DVD, just a weekend long deal for the live audience and a chance for Ronin to gain a potential foothold in PWG. Anyway, I'll get off the fake booking soapbox. Just thought the idea was interesting

Why would the other 2 shows' bookers agree to take time away from their shows to boost a PWG angle? That's what I mean by benefitting, it's not about those shows being well-booked.

The Taylors are heel right now anyway. I'm not sure beating up Chuck would raise their credibility much, especially if Chuck continues to be booked 2-3 times a year. They'd still be the same team, just with a different name. The Taylors need to work on character to stand out more.

Also, if this ever did happen, DDT4 would be a better place for it. Have the Taylors fill one slot, then Chuck & Swann or Gargano fills the other slot, and one team gets disappointed by the other advancing and attacks them.
